I have already written about my affection for the OpenVMS-VAX/Alpha platform. Via Hacksize I discovered a howto about running OpenVMS on a virtual system running in a PC. I didn’t know about The Computer History Simulation Project before. It seems a very necessary project nowadays.

Of course it’s better to have an VAX or Alpha machine to work with it. And it’s highly desireable HP will release any day that wonderful OS forgotten in a DEC office drawer :-P.

About history of computing, I found another interesting web page: An Illustrated History of Computers.
